UK to say goodbye to ‘junior doctors’ as medical profession ditches ‘demeaning’ title
Aussie doctors agree they'd like a rebrand too, saying the term 'creates a mistaken impression'.
Doctors in the UK will ditch the term ‘junior doctor’ and use the title ‘resident’ instead following a long debate on whether the reference to a doctor being a ‘junior’ is demeaning and misleading.
The British Medical Association (BMA) says it will formally adopt the change in September.
